50+ American Heroes Die from Suicide & Overdose Each DayIt’s Time to Try Something Different

There are over 20 million military veterans and tens of millions of active and retired first responders. In the shadows, a countless number of these heroes are desperately struggling with addiction to deadly drugs prescribed for service related injuries and psychological disorders. HeroGrown Foundation is the preeminent organization fighting for their right to choose cannabis as a safe alternative. In addition to providing direct assistance to thousands of veterans and first responders, we work to stop employers, health insurers, and the government from discriminating against cannabis users.

Over the past 9 years I’ve been contacted by hundreds of first responders asking for our help. As a former police officer, I feel now’s the right time to answer their calls. First responders are plagued by job-related physical and emotional trauma, often leading to depression and addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol. Cannabis (marijuana) should be an option for Veterans and First Responders.Roger Martin, Grow for Vets founder

They fight for our safety and freedom.It’s our turn to fight for them.

Scores of veterans and first responders resort to the use of deadly opiates, dangerous sleeping pills, and alcohol to cope with the pain, stress, and emotional toll of their service. Cannabis is a natural and 100% safe alternative. American Heroes deserve the right to use the medicine of their choice without risking their job, medical benefits, or freedom. HeroGrown’s mission is to raise awareness, advocate, and assist veterans, first responders and their families with the use of cannabis as a safe alternative to deadly prescription drugs. While our efforts weren’t formalized until 2014 with the incorporation of Grow for Vets, we’ve been giving cannabis & CBD products to veterans since in 2010. In January 2018, Grow for Vets evolved into HeroGrown Foundation and first responders and their families were added to the membership roles.
